Duckweed

Duckweed is a small, floating plant that multiplies quickly, providing shade and reducing algae growth. It also serves as a food source for fish and other aquatic animals. Duckweed is highly efficient at nutrient uptake, making it a natural biofilter for your pond. Its rapid growth can help to quickly cover large areas of the water surface, offering additional shade and protection for pond life. However, like Water Hyacinth, Duckweed requires regular monitoring to prevent it from overwhelming the pond.
